I've been on the lookout for a large piece of art for the dining room, but have not seen anything I've been excited about. Then I saw this and this, and thought I would try making it.
At first I tried freehanding it. That didn't turn out well, but I figured out my mistake fairly quickly.

Then I got out a ruler, started making straight intersecting lines, off-centered slightly to the left. I just used leftover paints from the garage.
Once I painted over the original mistake and penciled all the lines, it was a fairly quick and easy project.
